• What is a local market?
• Local markets and SESP as a platform

provider

• New market model, agents, roles & business
• Local flexibility market
• To sum up

3

The rise of prosumers will change the relation between customers and the grid but… What negotiation power does have a single prosumer?

4

• In the future, most of the energy we consume will be

generated where it is used. Big power plants will only be used as a reserve and for technical purposes.

• Electricity will be produced and bought locally
• Therefore, a new market concept is needed for trading

electricity locally

Generally speaking… A micro-market is the implementation of market rules in a lower scale system as medium or low voltage grids like neighbourhoods, towns or even cities. Similar than Energy Management Systems but with multiple owners.

Local market objectives:

• 1. Support a business model whereby locally produced energy is

primarily targeted local consumers.

• 1. Offer a competitive market place
• 2. Facilitate local trade
• 2. Promote the installation of distributed renewable generators.
• 3. Support trade of end-user flexibility for the benefit of the DSO

and its operations.

• 1. Managing grid bottlenecks.
• 2. Providing power curtailments under request.
• 4. Support power system balancing in wholesale markets
• 1. In intraday market sessions
• 2. In technical markets like the tertiary reserve market.

• A local market (LM) is an electricity

trading platform to sell and buy electricity and flexibility in the neighbourhood.

• The

Smart Energy Service Provider (SESP) is the local market facilitator for the energy community and it is an aggregator for wholesale market agents.

• The LM is divided into two sub-markets:

Local Energy and Flexibility Markets

9 The SESP offers services to all potential participants: consumers, producers, prosumers, community storage units, distribution and transmission system

• perators.

Which services? Energy, flexibility and other like home automation, comfort management, energy efficiency analysis, maintenance, failure detection and technical user support. There are three LM clients: 1.DSO requesting power curtailments in a specific zone 2.SESP itself requesting flexibility to reduce BRP deviation penalties 3.TSO requesting flexibility through the tertiary reserve market

SESP has a double role:

• Local market facilitator supervising the local

market operation

• Balance Responsible Party (BRP)

representing the community in wholesale markets

10

Local market contracts:

• Under this approach, all LM participants have a contract with the

SESP and there are no direct negotiations between traders

• Community members negotiate and trade contracts through

SESP ICT Platform

• These contracts can be renewed periodically like every month,

week or day.

• Contracts are between:

– SESP-DSO – SESP-Consumer – SESP-Producer

11

• Business model:

SESP providing flexibility to local DSO for short-term congestion management and voltage control. That means to use flexibility instead of upgrading the grid.

• A market-based direct control

algorithm has been designed, implemented and tested

• Flexibility expresses the extent to

which a power system can modify its electricity production and consumption in response to variability, expected or otherwise (Nosair et al. 2015)

• Flexibility measured as up- and

down-regulation

– Up: More generation or less consumption – Down: Less generation or more consumption

• Upper side: Flexibility activated to

comply with DSO requests. Positive is up regulation

• Lower side: Batteries state-of-

charge (energy stored in batteries) 13

• Microgrid laboratory helps

engineers to test energy management algorithms before going to the real field

• Emulators: Power electronics

devices behaving as real grid elements like loads, generators, batteries and electricity grids

15

• Left side: Load emulator

emulation results:

– Blue: Without SESP actions – Red: Expected consumption – Green: Load emulator consumption

• Right side: microgrid results

including all emulators with SESP

• rders:

– Blue: Load emulator with SESP actions – Red: Photovoltaic emulator – Green: Battery emulator

• Local market and the trading platform has been introduced

and they increase end-users participation and renewable energy share

• The business model of local flexibility market providing

flexibility services to the DSO is an alternative to classic grid planning decisions

• Implementation of market-based direct control algorithms

will be tested in demonstration pilots
